Specifications

Specifications include,
but are not limited to: Introduction. Iowa State
University (ISU) is seeking bids for one new
Dual-Band Raman Spectrometer on behalf of the
ISU Chemistry Department. The Dual-Band Raman
Spectrometer will be used for the automated,
continuous analysis of plants. The instrument
will be attached to an existing rover with a
robotic arm. The rover is designed to carry a
number of other sensors. Dual-Band excitation
with 532 nm and 1064 nm, including a 532 nm
laser and a 1064 nm laser Power of 80 mW and
spectral bandwidth of less than 0.3 nm for the
532 nm laser Power of 400 mW Spectral bandwidth
of less than 0.08 nm for the 1064 nm laser
Ability to use in-house developed data
collection system Capability of fiber optic
probe with a fiber length of at least 12 ft. to
meet the needs of the robotic arm WiFi ability
to communicate data up to 80 ft. away AC power
with ability to automatically switch to backup
battery power Backup battery power of at least
3 hours Raman sensor size of less than 14-in by
20.5-in Raman sensor weight not to exceed 50 pounds
